Mateo 27:43

43 Confió en Dios: líbrele ahora si le quiere: porque ha dicho: Soy Hijo de Dios.

Mateo 27:43 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 27:43

He trusted in God
That is, he pretended to claim an interest in him, to be high in his favour and esteem, and to have great faith and confidence in him:

let him deliver him now;
directly, from the cross, and the death of it:

if he will have him;
or if he is well pleased with him as his own Son, or delights in him as such, and will show him any favour and good will; see ( Psalms 22:8 ) , where are these very words, and which are predicted should be said by these men to Christ; and are a wonderful confirmation of the truth of that Psalm and prophecy belonging to him:

for he said, I am the Son of God;
not only in his ministry, but he had said so in their grand council, before them all.

Mateo 27:43 In-Context

41 De esta manera también los príncipes de los sacerdotes, escarneciendo con los escribas y los Fariseos y los ancianos, decían:

42 á otros salvó, á sí mismo no puede salvar: si es el Rey de Israel, descienda ahora de la cruz, y creeremos en él.

43 Confió en Dios: líbrele ahora si le quiere: porque ha dicho: Soy Hijo de Dios.

44 Lo mismo también le zaherían los ladrones que estaban crucificados con él.

45 Y desde la hora de sexta fueron tinieblas sobre toda la tierra hasta la hora de nona.
